Flourish + Fun

I'm back today visiting the queen, my Mum. I've been here every single day, nearly all day, for the past 3+ weeks. She is seemingly doing better, and is more with it today. She was able to stand. And is quite chatty! She would love prayer for freedom from pain, strength and her body to heal.  . Update for those who've asked... my mom has been disabled for the past 25 years, with Dystonia, a neurological disorder. And she has Spasmodic Torticolis, which is very painful. It makes her muscles spasm and cramp all day long.  Last week she fell and fractured a bone in her pelvic area. She has quite a road ahead of her. However, we are hopeful that she will recover and are praying she will feel better soon and her body will heal.  💗But w Thank you for joining with us and for praying for her!!

Em snuck out of her room tonight and came into ours. Her and I started talking about her day, school, friends, her future, etc...  Me:  "Em, have you thought about college when you're older?"  Em:  "Nope. But I have I've thought about cupcake world, having a playdate with Soledad and Audrey, being a Native American, being a Wompanoag (Native American) so cool, life on the moon, what it's like to be a dog, candy world, I would eat all the candy... what it's like being Poppy (from Trolls), our house and what if santa put a bunch of balloons in our chimney and it flew away, being shrunken in size (like honey I shrunk the kids), and ...when is auntie Susie going to make that (macrame) knotted rope thingy with me? That's what I've thought about."  Love my sweet girl! 💗 💗 💗 (Age 7)

It seems as though I have been MIA for a year and a half. HA, sorry! I started posting so much on my other social media sites that I neglected my little blog. Well, with maybe one or two little posts in between. Here's the quick review... first, fa-la-la it's December! Ok... ;) EM  She turned 6, then 7  - I missed both on this blog... time flies. She went to 1st grade, and started 2nd. She is flourishing at school. She is so smart. So kind and such a good friend. I admire her logic, smarts, and her sweet heart. I'm sure little sister will follow in her footsteps too. She looks up to her so much. She has a great crew of girlfriends, they are so darling. Her neighborhood friends and school friends are her whole world. Last night I rocked her to sleep in the rocker, and put her up in her bunk. I realized I need to remember she is still so little, I need to give her more grace. I often think she is so mature, responsible, etc... which she is, but I need to remind myself...
